Bank Fishing a Scum Covered Lake with a Popping Perch (Was it Bad Luck?)

Looks like you have to reorder some more KVD Popping Perch. They make a smaller size called the KVD Pipsqueak Popping Perch. Most KVD branded lures seem to work better than others I have tried on average. I want to try them myself, but my supply is overstocked already. I started being a frog fanatic a long time ago, I discover the Mann’s Rat around 1982 and few to no one used them. Loyd Tallent designed them for Mann’s Lures. Mann’s lures made a much softer body bait than Snag Proof lures. Harry Ehlers Company was Snag Proof lures, his hollow body baits were one of oldest models and they started around 1950. These hollow body lures are not a new idea they just went viral you could say a short time ago. I just picked Mann’s Rats because of the super soft body, because you got more hook ups. I still have around half dozen original Rats and a couple Ghost Shads. They made one called Phat Rat and another called Spitting Shad that I remember. The Ghost Shad was a hollow body Zara Spook type walking-bait made like a frog. Bass would hit those things and they would fly two feet in the air if they missed them and they missed them a lot of the time. Here is the kicker. 1895 Hasting’s Weedless Frogs sold by Hibbard, Spencer & Bartlett Company made from rubber, Molded using a new process that formed the hollow body. NetBait, Halo Fishing, Snag Proof, Scum Frog, Freedom Tackle Corp, STH Bait Co. all owned by American Baitworks Company. They sell many unusual style baits and some are American made. Don Wheeler’s Collectors Guide to Frog Lures, a book written just about Frogs. Now this guy knows about Frogs, and you thought you were a frog fanatic not even close. I do this stuff for fun. You just give me the ideas.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahaha good golly, I had no clue. I LOVE Mann's lures. They were king back in the day. Sadly, the new and improved stuff has take over but I'll always remember them from back in the day!

I dont fish frogs nearly enough. But i think its mainly because of the hookup ratio. I miss a lot of bites when i do fish them. Do you adjust your hooks on your frogs?

DEVIL DIO bass put up a good fun fight but not necessarily the best eating, usually not worth the trouble. Lots of people do eat them though. I personally feel like bass in particular just seem to have such an elevated intelligence compared to some other fish that it make it hard for me to think about eating one.
